Kids always have the tendency to explore everything and in doing that,
they often hurt themselves and sometimes the injuries can also be very
serious and may lead to disabilities and even death at times.

But restricting a child from playing and going out is not at all a good
idea as this can hamper the development of the body and the mind.
So, what are the things that parents should be aware of and what are
the measures that they should take to ensure child safety? Let us
discuss this in details in this piece of writing.



If you are leaving your child at home alone, then teach them about
strangers and ask them to refuse anything from strangers like any
gifts or rides.

They should keep a safe distance from such people and not disclose
any personal details to the unknown person. Make sure that the gates
and doors are locked properly and your kids have your contact
number and all emergency numbers.
Teach your children to say no to
anyone trying to touch their
private body parts and tell
someone if the person bothers
them. Do not ignore your
children if they have something
to tell you. Teach them about appropriate and inappropriate secrets
and make them understand that some secrets have to be shared with
parents for their safety.

Schools across the country have started to re-examine their security
policies after certain incidents that happened with the kids at school.
Some have installed cameras and have
kept personnel at doors and hallways. But
parents should also be careful about their
kid’s safety. If you have faced any issues,
then talk to the principal of the school.
From checking the visitors at the door to
issuing of gate passes, you must be aware
of the safety rules followed in the school. Talk to your child and teach
them the specific steps that they should take in certain situations.
Always carry a school safety hotline number that you may find helpful
during a crisis.

Walking is a healthy way to keep fit and it is fun time when going out
with the family. But child safety is important and parents should teach
them skills on the road that
can serve them throughout
their life. Teach them to look
for traffic at intersections
and driveways while they are
crossing the road. They
should also be aware of the drivers in parked cars and obey the traffic
signals and signs. Ask them to walk carefully and not to run across the
street.

Kids love activities and it is good for their health and mental
development. Some sports may also lead to injuries. But any activity
can be accident free if parents help their child to follow certain kid’s
safety rules. While playing cricket or baseball, make sure that the child
is using a helmet to protect the
face and ear. Warm up or cool
down, make sure that your child
is playing safe. If your child is
prone to ankle or knee injuries,
then cover them properly and
always keep a first aid box ready for emergency purpose.
Following some safety tips for children will not only help parents
prevent accidental injuries, but will also teach the kids to follow certain
